If others worship idols, they are deemed infidels (Kafir),

If they declare anyone as the son of God, they are deemed infidels,

If they bow down in prostration before fire, they are deemed infidels,

If they believe in the miracles of stars/planets, they are deemed infidels,

But for the believers, all paths are wide open;

They may passionately worship whomever they desire!

They may raise the status of Imams above the Prophets,

They may turn the Prophet into God if they wish!

They may raise the status of Imams above the Prophets,

They may repeatedly go to shrines to present offerings,

They may repeatedly go and seek prayers from the martyrs,

Yet, neither does it cause any flaw in their Monotheism (Tawheed),

Nor is Islam ruined, nor does their faith (Iman) depart!
